Other highlights include 2,000-year-old Egyptian mummies from the Ptolemaic period, a cave-dwelling creatures exhibit and a children\u2019s discovery room.

Included were extinct and endangered species collected by 19th-century naturalist William Werner. This gift formed the cornerstone of the museum\u2019s Birds of the Americas exhibit hall, which features more than 400 specimens of North American birds in their habitats. The museum is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution.
